My new girl that I still crate at night will chew on beds.

Goose will still grab his bed if he gets excited.

Some people don’t treat them like dogs, they are their fur babies. They let them run the show.

So dangerous to do especially for a bigger dog

Here is a photo just now..clouds, but they are high. No blue sky.View attachment 3431410

This is what our skies look like most of the time. I miss the vivid, bright blue skies of the southwest.

 

[BigBlueHen53]

We are now up to five chicks either running or flopping around (which is to say, healthy), and two eggs jerkily pipping. DH is setting up the brooder. This is so exciting and much easier than I expected it to be!

How many did you set or waiting on I should say

 

[BigBlueHen53]

We set ten. Well... 24 to begin with, but about halfway through we discarded 14 as the air cells were just floating all over the place and didn't look viable to us. So that left 10. We're waiting on five. Two of those are pipped, but one is not making much progress.
